Whenever I receive an email from Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger (aka Studio Ve) I know it’s gonna be an exciting day! These two, have been exploring the dimension of time for quite some time (take a look here, here and here). “Some people are systematic, approaching challenges step by step. Others view things from …

Today is all about Christmas so we figured that we should also celebrate it here on DesignBreak. When I say “we”, I mean Shiri and I. Shiri Ashkenazi, the one behind the monthly San Francisco, an Illustrated Journey, outdid herself and so… here is a little gift for the holiday from her (and me). How …

This month passed by so fast and I can’t believe that just now I’m writing about my birthday trip to Napa! Oh well… It was one special day and actually the very first we celebrated here is California. The day began with my sweet Mr. surprising me with a the cutest convertible Mini Cooper (it …

Later today I’ll be exploring Berkeley’s vibrating ceramic scene with the help of my new ceramist friend Orit Ben Arie (you know I’ll tell you all about that!). It seems only appropriate to share with you what is currently on my ceramic wish list. And the answer is clouds. Lots of clouds! Have you seen …

Oh Eliran Nargassi, you surly know how to rock my world time after time! With only a second collection under his belt, Eliran’s Black White & Pink holds so much beauty and strength while channeling his minimal signature touch. It’s no surprise that Eliran was inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs and especially his Ken, Lydia …

Not so long ago I was asked by the stylish duo behind SisterMAG (aka the sisters Thea and Toni) to participate in their 2013 Christmas Issue and of course I couldn’t say no! The girls wanted me to plan a 48 hours trip for my best friend and I thought that it was such a …

I don’t believe that I’m actually saying this out loud but this is Liron’s last post… As I’m writing these lines, Liron and her Mr. are on their grand Australian tour, having the time of their life, while exploring unfamiliar territories. I guess this is the only way to go, after you finish your Master’s …

When I was a child I used to play “the hat game” with my dad. Whenever we visited NYC, we entered any of the huge department stores and the minute we spotted the hat department, then the game began. I would try almost every hat that came my way and my dad (who was super …

I stumbled upon this oh-so-hearty necklace this morning and I couldn’t wait yet another minute so I had to sit down and write about it right away! I first discovered Talia Sari’s world a while back when I wrote about her mapped jewelry (which I love!) BUT I wasn’t prepared for this… Talia’s LEVO is …

When an industrial designer teams up with an illustrator it’s twice the fun! Rona Meyuchas, the Israeli power house behind Kukka, teamed up with the young British illustrator Will Haywood and together they created a world of bold graphics and yummy colors. Their tube trays and tea towels brought so much joy to my computer …

On an average day you will find me looking for desk accessories at least once. SO… when I bumped into Kate Spade‘s new desk accessories collection, my heart missed a beat. I mean, who can resist these patterned erases (hi there, polka dot and stripy beauties!), Bow Push Pins and this sexy Short List Notepad? …

I planed on having eight days of dreidels here on DesignBreak, but my computer decided to die on me… To make a long story short, now I stepped into the land of iMacs and hopefully things will be looking up soon. I still want to show you my favorite dreidels from the dreidel exhibition that …

I first ran into Liat Summerfield, when she wrote me about her Kickstarter Campaign and right then and there I had to ask her to take part in my IllustratedBreak and she said yes! For Liat, an illustrated break is when she can have her own dream time break, in which she is spaced out …

You guys, today was super special… Yep, I turned 35 and… I need to get used to that number. I will tell you all about my special day later on this week but in the meanwhile, I just wanted to share with you my over the top excitement. I know, I know… I shouldn’t feel …
